We've had both of you on the podcast before, but Rodeo, why don't you remind our listeners who you are and what your role is, and then we'll just kind of move down the line as far as position goes.
And that's something that's changed since our very first conversation as well.
So, explain your pathway into the CEO position.
So Sue as we dive into the way this growing season is shaped up it seemed to be almost imperable to have a partner with a drone because it feels like it's rained and rained and rained and really killed some of our opportunities.
Yeah, I feel like we almost saw that coming, the conversation that we had talking about the opportunities that existed.
But it's nice to know that we had a partner that fully understood this.
Dave, not in on this interview, got to use a drone service and learned a lot about the process itself.
But he also got to learn about how effective it's been and how it's not the only limiting factor that you can't run out of nitrogen.
and just spray fungicides.
So it's neat to see that there's continuing evolution of the way drones get used in the field even more than what we had talked about the first time in our conversation.
Ryan, as you've sat here and observed your company's growth and you had a great appearance at the Iowa Ag Expo and now you're at Farm Progress Show, what has been the excitement at your booth as producers come through it?
We haven't put together necessarily straight up figures. Every field's going to vary enough. As we look at doing our in the fields, the efficiency of the field and how you're set up. So we're in wide, flat, open area up here where you can run a half mile through very easily. You get into down south, we get into some cut up acres that roll up and down the hills.

Northwest you've got some really steep banks up as you get towards Ryan and Danny's backyard where all this started at and the ability to go through those fields on the drone screen when you're mapping a field out there's a big efficiency and I can knock out the waterways, I can take out the terraces so the drone knows to stop and start within different areas of the field and make sure you've got a buffer zone for the outside edge of the field depending on what you're spraying or get away from tree lines so you don't hang the drone up if you're running your own or one of our guys is running.

So the efficiency to me is I think there's some savings on chemistry. We can take out those waterways and some of those terrace lines that are not traditionally taken out when you're doing, whether it's a flyover or whether it's a ground rig, everybody can run across those with the booms if they're able to drive it or up in the air.
